#156 - Sartre: Robert C. Solomon on Existential Philosophy, Responsibility, Sartre's Experience as a POW, Being and Nothingness, No Exit, Phenomenology, Bad Faith, and Why We Are Doomed to Be Free
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
“This is what I thought: for the most banal even to become an adventure, you must (and this is enough) begin to recount it. This is what fools people: a man is always a teller of tales, he sees everything that happens to him through them; and he tries to live his own life as if he were telling a story. But you have to choose: live or tell.”
-Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea, 1938.
